i had this up as a status yesterday on yahoo and i thought i should post this so ppl new wut i meant lol i wrote this like 4 days ago enjoyo!!!!
ben redshaw the great out.

Existence is futile
Is what I hear them say
Existence is futile
I never bothered living anyway
Existence is futile
Why ever say that

Life is grand a gift from above
Life, love, turmoil
Treasures not meant to be scorned

Turmoil you say
A gift or a treasure
Never and no way

But think and ponder and understand
Turmoil is actually a friend
It hurt yes and makes you yell

Hey come on now
Think of how strong you are
Skin so tough you look like a rhino

A person mocks you
You block the evil shot
And protect your heart

You are tough
A man among men
A woman among women

The one that only
That can fight for yourself

So go fight
And praise life
And forever know

Existence isn’t futile

i am what i am and that is all that i am and all that i shall ever be..so deal with it
to make the world the greatest place is the perfect dream in

hey,
this was cool! these days people get carried away in damning life, and just take it for granted. your poem has a good message that life is a precious gift that should be embraced and not hated. it's good to know there are optimistic like you :-) thanks for sharing this poem.

Not your best poem, but still a good read.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
